Each year during the Advent and Christmas season, we turn our eyes to Bethlehem and celebrate the wonders of Jesus Christ, our Savior. And every year, the story of God’s incredible gift to us is told and interpreted by individuals whom God has called in various times and places. These incredible people sometimes find themselves in need.
The Christmas Joy Offering is received to support some of our leaders by providing financial assistance to current and retired church workers in their time of need, supporting the development and education of future leaders at Presbyterian-related schools and colleges that are equipping communities of color for leadership roles in the church and world.
On Sunday, December 19, ELPC will receive the Christmas Joy Offering. The Mission Board invites you to give generously and continue to pray for our church leaders.
